Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells (Manga) Vol. 13

JUSTICE VS. VENGEANCE

Fresh off the victory of saving Seras’s former master, Princess Cattlea of the Holy Empire of Neah, Touka and the Lord of the Flies Brigade set off in search of forbidden magic strong enough to defeat the goddess Vicius. However, the Country at the End of the World is incredibly dangerous, so he asks Eve and Lis to stay with their newest ally, Erika the Forbidden Witch. While traveling, he comes across one of the divine beasts—Nyaki. She reveals she’s being targeted by the Sword of Courage, a group overseen by the foul goddess herself. As he learns more about the twisted band of mercenaries, Touka realizes they have a shared connection and vows to crush them.
